Texas A&M Aggies vs. Pittsburgh Panthers

This should be an entertaining matchup between the SEC and ACC. The Aggies have forced turnovers consistently, while Pittsburgh has been strong on the glass. No matter who wins, this projects to be a tight possession game.

Betting Pick: Pittsburgh Panthers +3 over Texas A&M Aggies

Final Score Prediction: Texas A&M 76-75 over Pittsburgh

Oklahoma Sooners vs. Wake Forest Demon Deacons

Another SEC vs. ACC battle. Neither team features an explosive offense or an especially fast pace. Unless this one reaches overtime, the posted total feels too high. The under is the right play here.

Betting Pick: Oklahoma Sooners/Wake Forest Demon Deacons UNDER 158.5

Final Score Prediction: Wake Forest 78-72 over Oklahoma

Lindenwood Lions vs. Northern Illinois Huskies

Northern Illinois continues to struggle with turnovers, while Lindenwood has improved with Dontrez Williams in the mix. This game looks like one that could go down to the wire. That kind of script favors the underdog to cover.

Betting Pick: Lindenwood Lions +5.5 over Northern Illinois Huskies

Final Score Prediction: Northern Illinois 72-68 over Lindenwood

Sacramento State Hornets vs. Baylor Bears

Both teams operate at slower tempos, and Sacramento State has struggled badly scoring inside. Now they face a tough, physical Baylor team. The total feels inflated by nearly ten points. Play the under confidently.

Betting Pick: Sacramento State Hornets/Baylor Bears UNDER 158.5

Final Score Prediction: Baylor 89-59 over Sacramento State

Purdue Boilermakers vs. Rutgers Scarlet Knights

Hard to believe Big Ten play is already here, but conference season has arrived. Recent results matter less once league action begins, and Rutgers should be able to keep things respectable at home. Back the underdog.

Betting Pick: Rutgers Scarlet Knights +15.5 over Purdue Boilermakers

Final Score Prediction: Purdue 81-66 over Rutgers

There are plenty of great basketball games on the Tuesday schedule. These may not be the biggest matchups of the night, but they are our favorite betting angles. Enjoy the action, and good luck with all your college hoops bets.
